L'aura del campo


'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos'
♣ Federico García Lorca ♣


Higgins Street Bridge, April 25th  2009, Missoula, Montana


L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me.

Write me a political limerick?

Sure.

Lord Caoimhín O'Lim'rick's quite lucky.
Saint Ronnie O'Disney's just duckie.
         They went to Time's Square
         where sat in despair,
Don Juannie the twice loser suck-me.

What about Joe Biden?

Joe's not bad, just cheugy.

Breakfast's at Eight

Spill beans into a bowl, then let them soak.
Wash the rice, remove the stones.
Chop cilantro, carrots, onions, peppers, add a yolk.
Cook when daybreak dawns. Don't eat alone.
Invite your family, friends and folk. Puts flesh on bones.

Elegy in sepia

Gone, all gone
to the gutless and greedy,
no need to reach out
to the wandering sky
once roots are wrenched from paradise.

Even the color,
reduced to stark black and white,
now fades to sepia.

Adagio in Armargh

         to the sound of glass breaking

Mary Elizabeth sags —
slowly — like a Brahm's adagio,
tranquil but boring;

yet, tinkles like church bells when struck.

She's had ten too many children
and wants to punch through the glass ceiling —
before she's too worn out.

She's Thirty-six. A dash of hemlock? A cup of arsenic?

As the owner of her future, she'll rise to the top —
and give her offspring what their father could not.

Kåre Enga [180.35] (18.mai.2023)

The hermaphroditic snails don't care whether they slime through the Motherland or Fatherland. They just wave their eye-stalks, carry their home on their backs, search for one another to share a moment, look for somewhere to safely raise their brats.

She would grate carrots, julienne jujubes, gently braise two parrots, plonk them into a pot.

We were grateful when she moved on.

We arranged a wake, set before her portrait an offering of burnt toast, fermented herring and rotted cheese.

Each scar, each mole, each imperfection reminds me that I once was young and self-conscious, thinking I was ugly, unaware how age would rob me of that fleeting beauty. But — post-acne and pre-wrinkle — I had my moments in the sun.

Rivers flow from high to low
not all reach the sea.

Here, where rice-fields flood then overflow,
where high banks cannot stem the mighty flow
but only redirect it
water cleanses transgressions and leaves us bereft

— and those downstream — drowning.

You snooze. I sneeze. And worlds whirl with or without us. In pictures you'll always be a teenage geek or handsome man. You'll wrinkle long after I'm gone. Not because I want to move on; but, Death's embrace doesn't wait.

Script of the Eclipse

         along the lunar limb

Read cursive scrawled on the edge of the Moon.
Decipher the message. Heed what is known,
and what you will know — soon enough.

Life hangs tough and each bead of hope brightens
the day. Shine on. Shine on. Do not dismay.
The future speaks along the rim

where rays peek through. Leave bad habits behind;
seek the Light that will guide your way.


Kåre Enga [180.28] (12.mars.2023)

Free verse. 10/10/8 10/10/8 10/8 random rhyme throughout.

Prompt: edge of the moon. "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT

Note: The Baily's beads effect or diamond ring effect is a feature of total and annular solar eclipses. As the Moon covers the Sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged topography of the lunar limb allows beads of sunlight to shine through in some places while not in others.
